Nilesh, you can either use Visual Relational Identifier or anchors using DOM. Both allow you to work with anchors to execute events on neighboring objects.

Also, there is no way you can identify an object without using either OR or DP. You must use one of these for identification.

HI Anshoo,
Then what could be solution to this.I am trying to do this because i dn’t want to add swfEdit object to object repository as well dn’t want to use descriptive programming.I want to enter value into a swfEdit object based on its label.Idea is suppose i get the label’s X and Y cordinate, i can get all the object in the same Y cordinate using “GetChildatPoint1″ method.

Nilesh, I am not sure if you can pass a DOTNetFactory to SWFWindow like that..

Hi Bibek, Please try this:

Set oForm = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Form", "System.Windows.Forms")
Set oButtonOK = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Button", "System.Windows.Forms")
Set oButtonCancel = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Button", "System.Windows.Forms")
Set DiagReturn = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult", "System.Windows.Forms")
Set oPoint = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Drawing.Point","System.Drawing", x, y)

With oPoint
	.x = 5
	.y = 5
End With

With oButtonOK
	.Text = "OK"
	.Location = oPoint
	.DialogResult = DiagReturn.Ok
End With

With oPoint
	.x = 5
	.y = 35
End With

With oButtonCancel
	.Text = "Cancel"
	.Location = oPoint
	.DialogResult = DiagReturn.Cancel
End With

With oForm
	.Height = 500
	.Controls.Add oButtonOK
	.Controls.Add oButtonCancel
	.ShowDialog
End With

If oForm.DialogResult = DiagReturn.Ok Then
	'Code to open another form
	MsgBox "Opening another form.."
End If

If oForm.DialogResult = DiagReturn.Cancel Then
	'Code to do something else
	MsgBox "Doing something else.."
End If

Set oForm = Nothing
Set oButton = Nothing
Set DiagReturn = Nothing
Set oPoint = Nothing

I haven't tested this code yet. If you experience any issues with it, please let me know and we'll work together to find a solution that works for you.
